Federal budget must address critical gaps in frontline domestic violence services

Men in 20% of local court areas of NSW do not have access to accredited men’s behaviour change services (Based on a survey of 46 respondents from Women’s Domestic Violence Court Advocacy Services and other women’s services).
Additionally, there are a whole range of positively evaluated federally-funded family, domestic and sexual violence services, such as the Family Advocacy Support Services (FASSs) in the Family Courts, the Domestic Violence Units (DV Units) in Legal Aid Commissions, Health Justice Partnerships in health-related settings, and Coordinated Family Dispute Resolution Services in family support settings, all of which have been recommended for expansion, yet continue to maintain pilot status. This means access to critical safety services are not available to all Australian women and children, depending upon their postcode.
